A word of caution to pilots - BC Hydro is now removing marker balls at various span crossings in the province that have been there for years. Some locations have had much smaller marker balls installed which are only visible from about 1 mile or less from the line in ideal weather conditions. Others have had the marker balls removed completely. The explanation given was that Transport Canada doesn't really give a $#it and unless directed by TC to have marker balls installed at specific locations, BCH will not bother (or be obligated) to maintain span marking in high traffic areas. Safety First! BC Hydro Aircraft Operations - (604) 469-8848.

Just a heads up. I just saw this posted on another forum I frequent.
Re: Hydro marker balls being removed from bc hydro lines
That is unreal!! They must have forgot why they installed them in the first place.
